The Clowns got rid of one major thing that worked VERY well last few years - FB Lawrence Vickers. Yesterday, his RB, B. Tate ran for 116 yards. Hillis - not so much behind rookie Marcacic. Congrats on letting best FB in NFL go.

Clowns suck - Modell is a whore - The Clowns are a Walmart NFL team - have fun.

Remember Jerome Bettis? He has the same running style as Hillis - smashmouth. He also had a long career & even at the end, when he was pretty much spent, acted as a short yardage and goal-line back who got the job done. We need to sign this guy and take the gamble.

laughing..... the only reason the deal went through is because the Cubs picked up most of the money = Dolan is cheap worthless as an owner. Yes Fukudome is an upgrade over every outfielder we currently have except Brantley - but all our other outfielders are average AAA players at best. And why do we have a team full of AAA players - because Dolan is too cheap to get bonafide players before season begins, and the front office couldn't draft anybody decent if thier life depended on it.

The Indians are the Walmart baseball team of MLB - watch out for those falling prices (and I ain't talkin' about the beer or food at The Jake)

The Indians were out of the game BEFORE this season even started. Free agent pick-ups of Shelly Duncan, Austin Kearns, Orlando Cabrera and Adam Everett. They started out in the hole because LARRY DOLAN IS A CHEAP S.O.B.! Now that we WERE in a position to make trades, nobody wants to come here because DOLAN IS CHEAP AND WORTHLESS. You wouldn't come here with an owner like that either, would you! Glad I decided not to buy any more tickets. Dolan got his $100 out of my hide this year (2 tickets and 6 beers at $8.00 apiece - RIPOFF!!!!!!!!!!)

Unions overwhelmingly support Dem candidates because Dem candidates know that a strong labor movement is GOOD for the, what you call "struggling middle class". Maybe if more middle class private sector folks were in Unions, they wouldn't be struggling.

Raise taxes on people making over 250K per year, create a public healthcare option and make large corps actually pay taxes for the services our society provides them (roads, infrastructure, educating thier employees, protecting business from crime/fire, etc.)

If MLB is exempt from anti-trust laws - they should be required to open thier books to the public. If this was the case, you'd probably see some changes.

I think the Indians had two choices in 2008:
1. Sign CC & Lee for over $20M per year per player, and take $40M risk that team could generate 2M in attendance to pay for the salaries, hoping team would do well; or
2. Go with cheap players, hope attendnace doesn't drop too much, and rake in much-less-risky $20M-$40M in revenue sharing money.

1. Monsters are generating about 10,000 per game as a minor league team.
2. Pheonix Coyotes, last year went 50-25 and drew a league worst 11,989 at home. A winner like that, with a strong hockey fan base in Clevelander, would draw 20,000 per game.
3. Every large major city in the northern midwest has an NHL team, except Cleveland (see - Pittspuke, Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Columbus)
4. Cavs, who are worst team in history of NBA, are selling out (due only to last years season ticket sales) - averaging over 20K per game. Next year, when they continue to suck, that fan base will evaporate, and they'll be 11,000, just like they did before LeQuit got here.

Moral of the story - this town is much more of a hockey town than an NBA town. Let's get a push to get an NHL team here in Cleveland, and rid ourselves of the NBA for good.

The only thing more miserable than reading about the Cavs miserable losing streak, and the fans misery, is reading about this in an article written by Terry Pluto. It's a good thing my misery index stops at the former. Sucks to be the rest of you!

Please move this team out of Cleveland. If you took a poll, the majority of Clevelanders don't want an NBA team here, especially one that is a total embarassment to the city. We'd rather have an NHL team up here. If you don't know exactly how to do this - call (F)art Modell.

He should sue the company. What if this would have happened to someone who did not have dental insurance (most people). They would be paying through the nose due to a mistake made by the corporate cafeteria. Maybe the COMPANY will pay more attention next time, and refrain from injuring its customers.

This lunatic will be a disaster for Ohio. The very first things he does in office - proposing eliminating estate tax & eliminating collective bargaining benefit rich people and destroy middle class people. Congrats Kasich voters on electing the middle class's anti-christ.

republicans are confused, as usual. The liberal plan is working (as it normally does). Now that the fascists are back in power, both in fed. & state, we can expect massive decile again (and when I say we, I mean the middle class - working people).
